A security researcher dumped a 15-year-old macOS bug on the new year’s eve. He had called it a tiny, ugly bug that leads to full system compromise. The bug was a local privilege escalation vulnerability that affects all versions of the Apple’s desktop operating system. It’s been 3 days since the details of this bug were published online and Apple is yet to deliver a fix. The company, however, promises that it’s working on the patch.

After the security researcher who goes by the name Siguza on the internet published the bug online, they had added that Apple is aware of the flaw and is working on a fix. Since Siguza had called it a zero day security vulnerability, it was expected that the Cupertino tech giant would act fast to deliver a patch.
